Thank you for visiting the Burlington, Iowa website. We hope you find this website useful.
Burlington is a friendly community where visitors are welcomed with open arms. Burlington’s roots run deep and the preservation of our heritage has always been a key component of our community. Take a stroll downtown and you’ll find yourself surrounded by buildings listed on the National Register of Historic places. Unique, locally owned stores still inhabit the downtown shops. A cobblestone alley once traversed by our ancestors, still lies beside our City Hall and the Port of Burlington is still a first stop for visitors looking for information about local attractions.
Burlington is the home to a street Ripley’s Believe It or Not has dubbed one of the most unbelievable, curious spots in America. The unbelievably crooked Snake Alley is home to one of our many annual events, the Snake Alley Criterium, an uphill bike race that challenges even the most seasoned cyclist.
Healthy activities are a mainstay of our community. Burlington boasts walking and bike trails, as well as the RecPlex. A tournament-class facility for soccer, softball and sand volleyball.
Burlington offers thirteen beautiful parks including Crapo and Dankwardt where you can swim, have fun at the skate park, play on the disc golf course, enjoy a breathtaking walk through nature, or just picnic next to Lake Starker.
